"It's Andrea..." The girl introduced herself with a small and obviously nervous smile. She then shrugged to herself before wiping her hands on her pants, "I didn't expect you to remember... Just wanted to greet myself." Genevieve decided to sit up straight as she let the memory fall into place knowing that she hadn't forgot any of the names of those in the Perron household, but she was enjoying the nervous sight of the girl. 

She shrugged as she looked at Andrea, "Sorry... I didn't remember." Genevieve noticed how the girl deflated at her "confession" before laughing softly. "I'm joking, I knew who you were. I was just confused at you coming in here." 

The two stared at each other for another few seconds before laughing together once more at the awkwardness that was beginning to rub off.

Andrea moved forward with a grin before pointing at the UV light with a curious expression etched on her facial features. "What's this?" She tilted her head towards the equipment seeming as if she desperately wanted to know making the other girl stand up to explain. 

"Put your hand flat on the desk." Genevieve instructed causing Andrea to let out a small unneeded breath. Her action made the Warren girl pause and furrow her brows a bit because she was confused with the movement but waved it off in her mind. 

Drew made his way downstairs, knowing where Genevieve would be and grinned at the thought of her. He paused at the doorstep when he heard small laughter and decided to look into the room noticing how the Perron's daughter continued to bat her lashes towards Genevieve who seemed confused and oblivious to the actions. He subconsciously furrowed his brows in a manner that the Warren girl would usually do it and hid behind the doorframe to watch without them seeing him. 

The eldest Perron held the UV light in her right hand, she giggled as she placed her left hand on the desk causing Drew to scoff to himself at the sight. 

"Yeah, and take it off." Genevieve told Andrea who complied with the direction as she grinned once more. Watching as she took her hand off the desk, she then proceeded to turn on the light, "Here we go." She paused to let Andrea watch her handprint through the light and smiled as she always did when working with the equipment, "See?" Andrea nodded at her and let Genevieve continue to speak, "It just reveals to us what the naked eye can't see. Pretty far out, isn't it?"

Andrea looked up a bit at the slightly taller girl and nodded with a soft laugh, "Yeah, it's groovy."

"Drew, you got the Bolex ready for Brad?" Ed said with a confused expression towards the male catching both Genevieve and Andrea's attention apart from one another. The Perron's daughter left the room in a fast and flustered manner while Genevieve looked confused and stepped forward catching the sight of Drew who stumbled as he realized that he had been caught eavesdropping. 

Nodding, he began to make his path into the room looking at Genevieve before swiftly turning his attention elsewhere while Ed moved to stand beside him awaiting an answer from the question. "Yeah, already locked and loaded, sir."

Genevieve opened her mouth to speak to Drew but was cut off from the bell jingling which caught everyone's attention. The toilet was soon heard as it flushed causing all of those standing around to sigh knowing that it wasn't what they were looking for that had done that and had to have been someone else. 

"What? I had to go." Brad admitted with a shrug of his shoulders as he walked out of the room, drying his hands with a towel causing Genevieve to stifle her laughter knowing that she would have done the same since she has before when she was smaller. 

Drew and Ed were working on listening into the rooms around the house to see if either of them could pick up on something while Genevieve decided to join her mother once she realized that Drew didn't want to speak to her right now. He seemed bothered with something, and she didn't wish to make it worse, so she sat with her mother until the door creaking caught all of their attention again. 

"Wasn't me." Brad was heard saying amongst the silence, but Genevieve kept her focus on the camera shutter that had begun to click. Ed whispered for him to get the camera in response and waited until he did so before he called Lorraine and Genevieve over so the three could go into the cellar together.

Once the camera was set up, the three stood in front of it while Ed was the main one to hold all of the equipment together in hopes of catching something through the video. Genevieve waited in a patient manner, accidentally making eye contact with Drew whose eyes softened before he moved his lips seeming as if he were saying "be careful." She smiled at him in response causing him to reciprocate the action as well. 

"All right, it's nine eighteen p.m and we're headed down into the cellar where the doors just opened on its own. I have Lorraine, Genevieve and Officer Brad Hamilton with me." They all began to make their way down before Ed paused and added, "Let's keep the cellar light off." 

It was dark, very dark and cold down there for Genevieve but she didn't want to mention a thing.

Ed looked at his wife and daughter before looking around the room in obvious determination, "Give us a sign that you want to communicate with us." It followed with silence before all that was heard was the water running through the pipes. 

The three began to walk around the room, catching absolutely nothing before Genevieve stumbled onto the steps and Lorraine bent over holding onto the stairs railing for support. 

"Are you two okay?" Ed questioned in concern when he noticed both of their forms obviously in discomfort. Genevieve was the first to wave him off with a nod seeing as she didn't know what exactly caused her to react in that way. 

Lorraine slowly stood up as she pointed around the room with a nod before admitting in a whisper, "There's definitely something here."
